Chapter 74: Five Happinesses Come

"Dad, no need, I have enough living expenses, you can take them back to grandparents."

Zhuang Chaoying's hand stretched out stiffly in the air: "Tunan, this is my father's wish. In the future, my father will give you half of his salary every month..."

"Dad, I can earn money by myself as a tutor now. If you really want to give it to Xiaoting, give it to Xiaoting." Zhuang Tunan still had no intention of taking it. Before, the family was not enough money. My mother often asked her father to go to the grandparents to get the money back, but the result was endless quarrels. He couldn't believe what would his father make for half of his salary for him.

What's more, they made a fuss like that before the New Year.

"Tunan, I..."

"Brother Tunan, come quickly, the finale of The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

Zhuang Tunan hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Dad, you should keep this money yourself. Save some money. Buy a house in the future and live in a school dormitory is not a solution."

After Zhuang Tunan entered the house, Zhuang Chaoying came to his senses. His hand holding the envelope kept trembling, and he suddenly started to choke on the spot.

Zhuang Xiaoting was about to go out when she saw this scene, but was stopped by Huang Ling: "Your father wants the most face. If you go to comfort him, it will only make him feel even more embarrassed."

"But, mom, is face really that important?" Zhuang Xiaoting asked in confusion.

Huang Ling glanced at Zhuang Chaoying, who was lonely and silently choked in the yard, and said with a slight : "For some people, face is worthless. For your father, face is greater than that. He has been living in other people's praise for the rest of his life. Praising him is happier than paying him a year's salary."

...

Early the next morning, Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan rushed to the train station and embarked on a journey with Song Ying and the others' reluctance to leave.

After the start of school, I was in my senior year. The courses in the past six months were quite heavy. The teachers were discussing and left many important courses for the past half semester, so that the students were wailing. Every night in the study room, they could see the bitter melon-like faces of the Architecture Department.

In Professor Sun's words: "Students, don't complain about hardship or tiredness. Our architecture major is different from other majors. If you do something wrong with other majors, you will just deduct some bonuses. But if we are wrong, it will be a collapse of the building and a bridge will collapse. Think about your life, and you will not be hard or tired."

In the past six months, Zhuangtunan has to work as a tutor to make money to subsidize living expenses, and also prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. He squeezed every minute to the extreme, which also led to him developing a habit of having a very strong sense of time. Sometimes he went to class and left immediately after one class, which made some parents very dissatisfied with this. Fortunately, Zhuangtunan's tutoring effect is quite good. Most of the children who have been tutored by him have significantly improved their grades.

Li Jia was busy trying to get a quota from the Planning Bureau, running for vice president of the Student Union, and establishing good relations with the director of the teaching. Finally, the quota for internships of the Planning Bureau was finalized at the end of the period. After reporting for the school year, you can go directly to the Planning Bureau for internships.

After sharing the good news with Qin Hao, Li Jia did not forget to ask: "Where are you? Didn't you say you would also join the Planning Bureau?"

"I? Forget it for an internship, I'll find connections to get in afterwards." Qin Hao replied casually.

Li Jia frowned: "It's not that easy for the Planning Bureau to enter. Besides, if you don't go to the internship, who will give you the internship certificate?"

"The internship proves that the Chess Academy will handle it for me. Besides, the third China-Japan ring competition is about to start, and I don't have time." Qin Hao spread his hands.

It was midsummer in a blink of an eye. Before Qin Hao could go back to Suzhou, he followed the Chinese Go team to Japan to participate in the third China-Japan Go Arena Competition.

This time, the Japanese team sent out the strongest lineup they could send, six top chess players, as well as powerful players like Kobayashi Jue and Lin Haifeng.

In the words of Japanese media, this will be a battle of revenge for Japanese Go.

At the beginning of the game, the Japanese team sent Lin Haifeng to play, and indeed gave the Chinese team a 6-0 victory at the beginning.

It was not until Ma Xiaochun went out that he ended Lin Haifeng's winning streak with a slight advantage of two and a half.

However, Ma Xiaochun then lost to Kobayashi Guangichi, and the only Chinese team was left with Qin Hao and Nie Weiping.

This time, Nie Weiping played as the deputy general, while Qin Hao was the main general guarding the gate. This was not because Qin Hao performed outstandingly in the previous two games, but because Nie Weiping volunteered to do so for two consecutive games, and he didn't even have a chance to take action. It would be a pity to miss the opportunity to compete with top Japanese chess players so well.

Nie Weiping performed very well. After defeating Kobayashi Koichi, he had three consecutive victories until he met Masaki Bearu and lost in the middle.

Just when the Japanese media began to advocate that Takemiya Masaki would break the "Qin-fearing Curse" of Japanese chess players, Qin Hao not only defeated Miyamoto Masaki, but also scored another four-game winning streak, with the sword aiming directly at the Japanese leader Masao Kato.

Therefore, the Japanese media began to advocate that Masao Kato was the last hope for Japanese Go.

As a result, Masao Kato lost again with five and a half eyes. After the game, Masao Kato said helplessly that this was the best game he played in his life, but he still lost in the end.

Qin Hao became a dark cloud that was lingering over the Japanese chess world for a moment. All Japanese chess fans wanted to tear this dark cloud apart, but they could do nothing about it.

"Who can defeat him?"

This title appears on the cover of the Tokyo Evening News. The photo above is a picture of Qin Hao holding a gold medal in his hand. This scene deeply hurts the hearts of Japanese chess fans.

Some media even reported that each Japanese citizen would raise 10 yen to reward Japanese chess players who defeated Qin Hao.

The news was quickly responded enthusiastically by the Japanese people, and some people even came to Tokyo TV with their wallets.

You should know that Japan during this period can be said to be rich and rich. "One hundred million total volume" is not a joke. Not to mention 10 yen, even 10 US dollars is a slight meaning for most Japanese people.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! In such an atmosphere, Japan Fujitsu Co., Ltd. first stood up and said that they will take out 100 million yen as a total prize to hold a World Professional Go Championship.

This news instantly ignited the world Go circle. You should know that this was in 1987, when the yen appreciated all the way, and the exchange rate with the US dollar had risen to 123:1.

100 million yen is equivalent to 813,000 US dollars. What is even more shocking is that Fujitsu said that the champion will monopolize the prize of 56 million yen, which is 450,000 US dollars.

For a moment, all the professional Go players went crazy, and even the Chinese team players were red.

You should know that their monthly salary is only about 100 yuan. Even if they can't win the championship, they will be a considerable amount of 44 million yen.

So, everyone unanimously decided not to return home and stay in Japan to wait for the exact news about the Fujitsu Cup.

Fujitsu did not ask them to wait too long. After just three days, it came up with a detailed competition schedule and announced the audition plan.

The final number of places in the main competition was only 24, including seven in Japan, five in China, five in South Korea, one in Europe, one in North America, and one in South America. As for the remaining one, Qin Hao, who does not need to participate in the auditions.

Fujitsu is very clear that the reason why this competition is so popular is entirely because Qin Hao has aroused the external psychology of the Japanese people. If he doesn't participate, the 100 million yen bonus will definitely lose even his shorts.

As if he was afraid that Qin Hao would not participate, Fujitsu also sent a president to send an invitation letter in person.

Qin Hao also pretended to refuse and accepted the invitation.

In fact, this China-Japan Arena Competition is no longer attractive to Qin Hao. Not only is the low bonus, but it will take a lot of time to travel. If it weren't for the promotion of "BBK", Qin Hao would have long since no one wanted to participate.

This Fujitsu Cup not only has a great prize, but also wins the honor of a world championship. Why not do it?

However, since auditions were to be held in various regions, the main competition would probably not start until next year, so Qin Hao and the Chinese team boarded a flight back to China.

Compared to being surrounded by reporters and chess fans at Shanghai Airport, neighbors in the cotton spinning factory's family alley have long been accustomed to Qin Hao's victory.

Grandpa Li sat on the rocking chair in the convenience store. After seeing Qin Hao, he just shook his palm-leaf fan gently: "Haozi is good, he won the championship again."

"That little Japanese are so angry!"

When Qin Hao returned to the gate of the courtyard, he found two red silk hangings on it. One said, "Warm celebration of Zhuang Xiaoting's admission to Shanghai Jiaotong University", while the other one had the same content, except that the name became Lin Dongzhe.

"Brother Hao, haha, I've passed the exam, I've passed the exam, Jiaotong University." Lin Dongzhe noticed Qin Hao with sharp eyes and rushed over excitedly.

Qin Hao patted his back: "Well, it's not bad, finally I haven't worked hard in vain in the past few years."

Lin Dongzhe giggled, his eyes floating in the direction where Zhuang Xiaoting was from time to time.

Before he knew it, Zhuang Xiaoting also grew into a graceful girl. After seeing Qin Hao, she smiled implicitly and turned her eyes to the side.

Zhuang Tunan handed Qin Hao a piece of iced watermelon: "I have passed the postgraduate entrance examination interview, and you didn't inform you when you were in Japan."

"So we have three happy places in our courtyard. We should celebrate it well?" Qin Hao took the watermelon with a smile and took a big bite.

Lin Dongzhe shook his head and said, "It's not the three joys coming, but the four joys coming. Brother Hao, you won the championship again, we saw it on TV."

"Yes, the four joys are coming, so how about I have to have a meal at Yuelou? I'll treat you."

"Oh, you can have a big meal."

Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting were both very happy, while Zhuang Tunan was a little hesitant: "Will it be too wasteful?"

"Money is spent if you make money. It has been kept in the bank and is just a number. It is rare for everyone to be so happy, so don't let it go."

Zhuang Tunan was also very tactful and did not persuade him again. Qin Hao made a decision: "Then wait until Aunt Song and the others get off work. Let's go together. I'll go and make a seat first."

After saying that, Qin Hao suddenly realized: "By the way, where is Pengfei? Why didn't he see him?"

Speaking of this, the smiles on Zhuang Tunan and the others' faces were frozen.

"Pengfei has returned to Guizhou. I didn't do well in the college entrance examination this time. Aunt Zhuang wanted him to continue the resuming, but he didn't want to go to school anymore, so Aunt Zhuang called him back." Lin Dongzhe is most familiar with Xiang Pengfei, and he is even more clear about Xiang Pengfei's affairs than Zhuang Tunan brothers and sisters.

"Auntie will definitely ask him to continue to repeat the exam, but with Pengfei's learning attitude, he may not be able to pass the exam." Zhuang Tunan sighed.

Zhuang Xiaoting said quietly: "Brother Pengfei said that my uncle bent down to clean the gravel under the sleeper under the sun every day. He worked for half a day. He couldn't straighten his waist when he got home. He could only barely fall asleep after applying medicinal wine. He just wanted to earn more overtime pay to send him living expenses. He didn't want his uncle to work so hard. If he couldn't pass the exam for one year or two years, he was afraid that his uncle would be exhausted. Besides, it would take four years for college..."

Qin Hao thought for a while: "I have personal luck, but I may not be able to go to college to have a future. When Pengfei comes back, if he really doesn't miss him, I'll find him a job."

"But Pengfei has no professional knowledge, what kind of work can he do?" Zhuang Tunan hesitated.

Qin Hao was amused: "Zhuang Tunan, you are usually brainwashed by Teacher Zhuang, right? Only a few people can get into college. There are more than many people who have graduated from high school. Now many people have not even finished elementary school, so why don't they come out to work?"

Zhuang Tunan thought about it carefully, so it was true that Song Ying and her mother Huang Ling both started working after junior high school, and there seemed to be nothing incompetent.

"Then let's talk about it when Pengfei comes back. What if he decides to repeat the exam?"

Qin Hao did not refute it. For Zhuang Tunan, studying to change his destiny was his personal experience. People have always believed in what happened to them.

Not long after, a crisp bicycle ringtone came from the alley, and Song Ying and Huang Ling came back from the morning shift.

"Haozi."

"Haozi is back."

After a wave of greetings, Qin Hao stopped the two people who were going to cook.

When she heard that she was going to Deyuelou for a banquet, Huang Ling subconsciously wanted to persuade her not to spend money randomly. As a result, Song Ying hugged her arm and said happily.

"It's rare for Haozi to be a member of the restaurant today. I have to eat some good food. To be honest, I almost vomit when I eat the food I cook every day."

Huang Ling looked at Song Ying with envy, not envying Song Ying for some filial piety, but envying her for not hiding her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

And she seemed to have lost the ability to make herself happy. I don’t know when it started, all her likes and dislikes needed to be obtained from her children. She would be happy if they were happy.

In the afternoon, Qin Hao and his group rushed to the gate of the compressor factory to wait for Lin Wufeng to get off work.

While Lin Wufeng was happy, he also announced good news. He had been nominated for the "deputy factory director". Although the official appointment has not yet been completed, the factory director has already talked to him, and he is almost inseparable.

Song Ying's first thought was: "How much salary can the deputy factory manager increase?"

Huang Ling made a joke: "Look at your money-loving look, is it just for the salary you are the deputy factory director?"
